Q. The House passed a bill granting sick leave credit to federal retirees. Is this bill in effect now?
A. Yes. Under Public Law 111-84, any FERS employee who dies or retires on or after Oct. 28, 2009 through Dec. 31, 2013, will get half credit for any unused sick leave. They’ll get full credit if they die or retire on or after Jan. 1, 2014.
